Gas prices affect your riding?

[Gone in 60]

I know the NC bikes are well known for fuel economy. I was perusing them, but since the intent of adding a bike was to give Mrs. Gone something small and light, I went the 300 route. Still, if I ever replace the Bonneville, an NC would be at the top of my list.

I'm happy with the mileage I'm getting from the 300, but it was a bit of a learning curve. When I first rode the bike home from San Diego to Orange County, within the first few miles I realized that sustained speeds in the low 70s weren't a problem. So, I rode like I'd normally do, but when I saw the low fuel light at 100 miles, I realized that a more judicious right wrist was advisable.
